Valuable items buyback house clearance Brussels - jewellery and antiques

The price of a house clearance in Brussels is the first question our clients ask. And rightly so: it is essential to know the budget required before launching this type of project. The good news is that the cost can be considerably reduced, or even eliminated, thanks to the buyback of valuable items. Here is our complete guide to 2026 prices.

Average Prices for a House Clearance in Brussels in 2026

Prices vary mainly depending on the size of the property and the volume to be removed. Here are the price ranges charged by professionals in Brussels:

Property type Without buyback With item buyback Duration
Studio / Bedsit 300 - 600 EUR 150 - 400 EUR 2-4h
Apartment (1-2 bed) 500 - 1,200 EUR 200 - 800 EUR 4-8h

Indicative prices. The exact rate is determined during the free on-site visit.

Factors That Influence the Price

Several factors affect the cost of a house clearance in Brussels:

Volume to remove

The more items and furniture there are, the greater the workload. A house cluttered over 40 years will cost more than a sparsely furnished property.

Floor and accessibility

A 5th-floor apartment without a lift requires more manpower. Access for the truck (narrow streets, limited parking) also has an impact.

Valuable items

This is the most impactful factor. The presence of antiques, old furniture, paintings or jewellery can drastically reduce the price through buyback.

Urgency

A standard house clearance planned in advance will generally be cheaper than an emergency intervention within 24 hours.

Cleaning included

Basic cleaning (sweeping) is often included. A thorough deep clean may incur an additional charge.

Special materials

Certain materials (asbestos, chemicals, hazardous waste) require special handling at an extra cost.

Item Buyback: Your Best Savings Lever

This is the key advantage of AAB Brocanteur compared to a simple clearance company: as a professional second-hand dealer with over 30 years of experience, we buy back all items that have value.

Our experts identify valuable pieces on site: Art Deco or Art Nouveau furniture, antique crockery, silverware, paintings, rare books, jewellery, clocks, musical instruments and more. The buyback amount is directly deducted from your invoice.

Real example: For a 180m2 house in Uccle, the clearance cost was 1,800 EUR. Our experts identified and bought back Art Deco furniture for 2,200 EUR. Result: the client received 400 EUR instead of paying.

Free House Clearance: Is It Possible?

Yes, a free house clearance in Brussels is entirely possible when the value of the items bought back exceeds the cost of the clearance. This occurs particularly in the following cases:

  • Older houses with period furniture in good condition
  • Presence of collections (stamps, coins, books, vinyl records)
  • Jewellery, silverware, precious metal items
  • Signed paintings and works of art

Our Tips to Reduce the Cost

  • Choose a second-hand dealer clearance company rather than a simple clearance firm: item buyback makes all the difference.
  • Do not throw anything away before the expert visit: a dusty old piece of furniture could be worth several hundred euros.
  • Make access easy: good parking for the truck and clear access reduce the work time.
  • Plan ahead: planned interventions are generally less expensive than emergency call-outs.
